Sun Valley Resort

Resort Description

Places like this are a rare find. It’s a place steeped in ski lore and legend. Founded by intrepid mountaineers. Home to people who are as real as the mountains, rivers and trails that surround them. It’s a place that’s unique because the people that live here make it, and it’s been that way since the world’s first chairlift was built on its slopes in 1936. It’s a place where growth and culture haven’t stripped away the true mountain experience. Today, 80 years later, legions of devoted skiers and boarders still embrace “The tradition”— a visit to Sun Valley.
